I don't think I have ever been a size 6. I went from a girl's 14 to a woman's 14 in six months. I can also visibly see my ribs at that 14.
Random fact? I am half Cherokee, though I look all Irish.

I'm only 1st gen. Canadian on my dad's side and 2nd gen. on my Mothers.
My Oma fled eastern Germany (now Poland) when Russia invaded and made her way to Canada.
My Father was born in Budapest, Hungary, and immigrated to Canada with his poor Romany (Gypsy) family when he was 3. I still remember his giant inoculation scar on the top of his arm.
He had the best stories!
Not to mention a bunch of really weird romany traditions I thought were normal for yeeeaaars growing up.
I look a lot like him - all dark skin/eyes/hair
My sister is the blond haired, blue eyed german! Lol!

I have never been outside Australia, but this will change Tomorrow. I am going to Thailand/Cambodia for 17 days as a part of a missions awareness trip through Destiny Rescue.

Different sizes are healthy on different people. I fluctuate between an 8 and a 6, but I'd say I'm still overweight. By BMI standards, I'm high end of normal, anyway. Part of that is that I am a runner, so muscle weighs more than fat, but let's be honest... I've got a gut and a butt. Losing 20 wouldn't hurt me (which is why I'm doing it!)

I dye my hair red and have since I was 15. While the hue has changed, the color hasn't. When you ask people, even people I went to high school with, most would say I was a natural redhead. Even my own Dad argued with my Mother over if I was a natural redhead. He insisted that, while I change the intensity, I was a natural redhead. Fair skin, freckles, and blue eyes... It works with my complexion really well.
My natural haircolor? Dark, dark, dark brown/black. When I'm my natural color (which I was for 1 day 10 or so years ago), I look like a goth.
In complete and total honesty, without joking or exaggeration, if I couldn't dye my hair red, I would have an identity crisis and my self-perception would be shot. When I was pregnant and couldn't dye my hair until 5 months along, I was so depressed I would cry pretty much daily. Even at this moment, I'm waaaay overdue for my "refresh" (leaving for Disney in 9 days, I want to have really nice color on the trip for the pictures), so I haven't been out of the house in over a week, and won't leave until I re-color.
Pretty dramatic for a girl who wears her hair in a ponytail about 100% of the time.

I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I've calmed down since having Eloise, but I used to love cliff-diving, zip-lining, any and all roller-coasters, as well as through piercing/tatooing.
But having a hubby who gets vertigo has cut back on my shenanigans. I was about pay for a bungee jump over a lake, but hubby was about to have a heart-attack for me... :S

lol I want to go skydiving.
I did bungee jumping a couple of years ago. I've got a real intense fear of HIGH heights - and I thought that would be a way for me to conquer it.
I remember standing on the platform - and being pretty sure I couldn't do it. So I looked at the guy and said "Nah, untie me."
He pointed at the line of people behind me, and there were several little girls in the line. He said "Little girls are going to do this, dude."
That was all it took...and I jumped.

Did It get you over your fear of heights Ezoo?
I also love roller coasters. The most daring thing I've done so far was this big bungee swing thing at Canada's Wonderland. I did it with my husband and it was awesome. However, we were a bit freaked out at the prospect of what would happen to our son if it broke. :/ so we've since promised each other no bungee jumping or skydiving till the kids are grown. When that time comes I definitely want to do both! Maybe we'll do it together to celebrate being empty nesters!

Talking about heights... I have an abnormally intense fear of heights. To the point that even watching things on tv where people are up high, I panic a bit...lol.
Was with friends one time.. out enjoying a walk in the woods and I climbed a rock. By the time I got to the top and looked down I froze.. and it was only about 6 feet up. I laugh thinking about it now.

I haven't drank soda in 20 years.
But that is nowhere as cool as bungee jumping and sky diving - none of which I would ever do, because like other posters, I am afraid of heights.

This thread is making me see how terribly uninteresting I am! There is nothing unique about me....
My "identity" (actually, just my banking information) was stolen about five years ago and everything I had was stolen. The people were caught, but rather than fight my whole life for my credit rating, I changed my name instead. When I did so, and because my bank knew me, the credit rating I had with them was protected.
